Oral Assessment in Engineering Education

CloseDepartment of Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark

Abstract:

This paper describes an oral assessment technique that has been used for over 20 years at the Centre of Maritime Studies and Engineering in the Faroe Islands. The technique has proven less laborious for the examiners and the students agree that this technique not only assesses their surface learning, as written examination often does, but digs deeper into their understanding of the subject area.
